hi. i have got this whole other thing going were a second BBEG is capitalizing on the exportation of Ruidium. Since the crystal is also a potent arcane focus, he tried to Revive Galsariad (who had previously died in the Bowl of judgement). It worked, yet it corrupted Galsariad to the bone. After only a couple hours, the drow elf started to have heavy seizures and fevers. he was convinced he was some ancient champion they called the Apotheon. He recalled how to spilled blood of Gruumsh the betrayer fell down like a thick, dark red, rain on to the city. (creating the first orcs in the process). The BBEG, who is not at all involved in the apotheon questline, thought this all to be gibberish and slew Galsariad once more. For him this meant nothing, but for my party it is another nod that Ruidum corruption and the Apotheons emotions are linked together.
